what is now day 156 in these negotiations. both sides came back to the table around 1:00 after basically spending the night. they were done here at 6:00 a.m. seems to be kind of a shell game at this point. b.a.r.t's best and final offer is valued at 57 million over four years for salaries, pensions and benefits, and the unions trying to find a way to make those dollars makeceps to what they ant. and they still seem pretty positive on the way in. >> hope today we'll reach an agreement. as you know, we were here until 6:00 in the morning. we're back now. we will stay as long as it takes tonight to reach an agreement. we're doing everything we know how to do. >> reporter: one man who has been noticeably about stent past few days is thomas hawk you see here, b.a.r.t's management chief negotiator. he is literally at disney land giving a prescheduled speech on, you guessed it, contract negotiations. the irony is hawk has ruffled a

few feathers, and i don't mean on daffy duck. the unions have said they don't like dealing with him so it is not surprising these past couple days have gone smoother. >> they should take advantage that he is not here and maybe we can get to a deal. >> reporter: both sides have been singing the praises of the three mediators who are here including george h. cohen. he has been in talks with pro football, fee basketball, and pro hockey. hopefully they will make a difference. at this point, i still cannot tell you whether we will have a strike tomorrow or not. brian webb kpix 5. >> brian, thank you for that. we will check back later. as we have been reporting night after night, people are down right angry about all this. as allen martin shows us, even those wideep connections,

there is no denying that. >> reporter: we spoke with a former member of the b.a.r.t board of directors. while the two may not see cry to eye, they certainly see problems. >> the angst this is causing, the anger. >> and it is not the first time. >> every single time since we had a lengthy strike in 1979, every time. this is nothing new. >> so, how do we prevent this standoff from happening again. they say the problem lies partly with the board of directors. what he sees is an unnecessary lair of bureaucracy. >> there are three elected transsit boards. two of them are in the bay area. >> b.a.r.t is one, strike ac transit is tore. >> b.a.r.t started in the early 1960s. a lot of us leaved that everything was democratic in those days including how you make a train run. it is a place where elected people don't need to be. a lot of places they do need to

be. this is not one. >> i say not the board. i say the structure of collective bargaining for problem transit workers needs to change. the disfunction lies in the fact that you have two parties, unions, and management negotiating when the big impact are on a third party that is the rest of us, the public. >> and if you think this round is bad, just revisit 1997. >> i am mad. i am upset. i am dispinted. >> just prohibiting transit workers from striking, they do it in new york, and certainly the bay area is no greater union than the city of new york. >> we have alwaysed that same dynamic of going down to the last minute, and that has to end. >> now it's important to note that b.a.r.t is created by state legislation. so any significant changes to how the board operates or how these negotiations are conducted has to come out of santa clara. >> it is an interesting

concept. he mentioned new york doesn't allow their transit workers to strike. i don't know about muni. i think they are also prohibited from striking. i could be wrong. there is too much at stake. there are too many people at. >> we'll check in live at 6:30 for an update and, of course, bring you any developments live as they happen. you can also find transit alternatives if b.a.r.t does go on strike. check out our survival bide on kpix.com. meanwhile, ac transit is pleading for governor brown to accept in before its workers walk off the job this week. kpix 5's ryan takeo spoke with a labor expert who said ac transit workers are taking a cue from their b.a.r.t counterparts. ryan. >> reporter: that's right, ken. the expert says ac transit workers want a better deal in part because of b.a.r.t. either way, east bay bus riders could be without a ride as soon as thursday unless the governor odes taco bell cooling off

period. the ac transit bus line might as well be a lifeline. it's how riders like this waiter get to work. like many ac transit riders, he does not have a car, and he can't imagine what it would be like without a bus ride. >> it would hurt loot of people, too. >> it would hurt loot of his coworkers. half of the lum staff took public transit in today. >> a lot of money would be lost for people whoa just can't get to work. >> obviously, it would be a real mess. >> that's why ac transit asked governor brown to step in and order a 60 day cooling off period to delay a thursday strike. ac transit leaders have come to two agreements with 192 leaders, but the rank and file rejected both of those deals. >> now we are at a quandary wondering what we will hear from the union next and where we should go from there. >> yesterday ac transit leaders said the timing of this strike and the fact it is so close to

a possible b.a.r.t strike is merely a coincidence. >> a strike notice is not timed for the b.a.r.t negotiations. >> but uc berkeley professor says ac transit drivers are probably reacting to the b.a.r.t talks. >> i think obviously they are being influenced in some ways by what's going on with the part strike. >> both part and ac transit workers face issues. they want safety addressed. you can't blame anxious bus riders worried about how they might get around after shootings. unlike b there are no backups for these bus. >> that means i'm going to have to pay a lot of money to take cabs to work. >> the labor expert warned that b.a.r.t union leaders will then have to sell whatever deal they make to their members that something ac transit union

leaders have not been able to do twice. new at 6:00, the u.s. supreme court reporter today paved the way from the release of thousands of inmates by rejecting an appeal from governor brown. a federal court ordered california to reduce its prison population because of overcrowding. the state has fought it insisting it has addressed the problem and is giving prisoners proper medical and health care. the supreme court, however, rejected that appeal. the supreme court took up two cases dealing with affirmative action, and the outcome will likely be felt here in california. jeff nguyen has more. >> reporter: just as the students took part in a rally as the u.s. supreme court took up the issue of affirmative agency again, ucla says african

americans make less than 4% of the student population. >> asians or international students, i see them every where by don't see people that look like me. >> the case before the high court says a law of 209 says race cannot be a factor in college admissions. it went into effect in 1988. mercedez is applying for grad school at ucla and says getting in should be based solely on credentials. >> i wouldn't want that person with the lower requirements to have more points over someone that might be better call fid for the program. >> here at ucla, the prop 209 caused the admissions rate of under represented minorities to drop between 1996 and 1998 bring nearly half. >> i think we're still ham strung by this law. >> dr. hunt is a former chair of the admissions committee at ucla. he says admissions at ucla and berkeley the talk of two

campuses has improved the last few years but the gains have been modest. >> back in 2006, there was a new york times article that said less than 100 freshman will be african american. >> for students like this, getting into a prestigious university is one thing. what you get out of it may depend on a diverse environment. >> in orange county there isn't much diversetism here at ucla, that is why i love it because there are so many different backgrounds and it is fun to meet everybody. >> at ucla, jeff nguyen. a rash of truck thefts has companies watching their backs. patrick cedillo has more about the target for thieves. >> this the probably the second time in the past two years we have had a large loss of

commercial type vehicles. >> reporter: a different type of crime rate is hitting. >> the large increase in the theft of predominantly ford, f 250, f 350. some of the 450s. >> someone is shifting work trucks. not to sell on the black market but for their paid load. >> taking the vehicles to another location and then stripping the vehicle of all the tools and equipment. >> whoever stole this truck didn't even think to look under the hood. these parts are worth thousands of dollars, but they wanted something they could take and sell easily. >> work tools, drills, grinders, anything that is not bolted down on the vehicle itself. >> monday morning we came in to work and my guys were here ahead of me. they questioned me. >> adam buchanan went to work last week to find this truck had vanished. he thought he would never see it again. >> three days later we got a call from a local gas station that says please come pick up this abandon truck.

>> everything was left intact on the truck. the tires alone are worth hundreds of dollars. thieves ended up with nothing. >> but it had a load of trash in it. they didn't need it, guess. >> for many, the tool there is a are stolen are priceless. >> these are tools they have accumulated not over the last couple years. some over a lifetime. >> patrick cedillo kpix 5. >> police tell us about a dozen commercial vehicles have been stolen over the past two months. maybes jolted out of bed as the feds surprise mexican drug cartel suspects. the bus that went down right next to a day care. this is a unique fix to a unique problem. >> remember those broken bolt on the bay bridge? now we are getting a closer look at the fix designed to protect us during an earthquake. highs for many brought another frosty night. frost advisory for the second straight night. we will talk a cool down and how chilly the temperatures will get in my 7 day coming up.
